About the Artist

It started as a mere observation of human interaction with the environment, a fragile skeleton of an old woman feeding pigeons that were fatter than she. This led me to an image of a grossly obese woman feeding pigeons, only the pigeons were skeletons and they were very, very nervous.

Nervous Bird continues to evolve.

The majority of these works are mixed media paintings including, but not limited to, the use of motor oil, gold leaf, makeup pigments, oil paint, graphite & auto body paint. There are some illustrations and a large installation piece that includes a bird/human hybrid and nests. The installation is titled "At What Cost?"

Currently working on solo exhibition opening March 7, 2008. Also working on Eaten by Predators/Dissected by Children, which is a mixed media series based on rat bones that have been excavated from owl pellets by children at Lied Discovery Children's Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada
